  1. I'm looking forward to the end of January through February period, I think that will be the best wintry period we've seen in 3 years (not saying much I know.) But imagine with temperatures just slightly colder than they were with this storm and with the same juiced up STJ, then 1982-83 and 2015-16 become good analogs for what can happen.
  2. How does this compare to the OV bomb in January 1978 (I know that was a weak el nino but it was a second year el nino.)
  3. October 2011 was a nice surprise here with 1.5" any accumulation in October is historic-- just like an accumulating May snowfall would be. Another one was November 2012 which dropped 8 inches here, much less on the north shore. LGA had white rain while we had tree branches falling on the roads from the weight of the heavy wet snow (compounding the devastation from Sandy.)
  4. I was just going to say, there was a nice area of a foot plus from NE PA across NW NJ and into the Hudson Valley and then interior SNE. 3-4 inches per hour for 2-3 hours too. This is the kind of storm that portends well for late January through February for the coastal plain at the climo peak of snowfall season and a juiced up el nino STJ, Ray!
  5. it was a flake here and there, not like what the radar depicted
  6. Yes we got our arctic shots with dry weather and when precip moved in it rapidly warmed up.... similar to what's happened the last few years.
  7. Januarys were much colder than they are now and Februarys were exceptionally mild. Looking at that decade we had several Januarys in a row where the average temperature was in the mid to upper 20s.
  8. I remember when this was said back in December 2022 also ;-)
  9. why is it PNA vs RNA, instead of +PNA vs -PNA?
  10. you can have a trough on both coasts too
  11. 82-83 was much colder, that entire decade was much colder (irrespective of snowfall.) At least 50% of the time we missed out on snow because it was too cold and it suppressed the storm track.
  12. I'm worried about power outages I was aware that the wind is going to be strong, just no specifics on exactly how strong. There is a big difference here between 50 mph, 60 mph and 70 mph. At 50 mph we are usually fine, at 60 mph we start having problems with power, at 70 mph there are tree limbs flying around and I'm worried about my windows
  13. No one has mentioned wind speeds anywhere, how fast could these winds get? are we talking about hurricane speeds in wind gusts?
